Hi Allow me introduce myself. My name is Sheila Croskey. I have been Licensed social worker in New York State for over 19 years. Life struggles can be overwhelming and complicated.

I have experiences in a wide range of places such as the Criminal Justice System, the New York City Education System and Mental Health agencies. I am efficient and highly motivated and very dedicated to helping you with reaching your highest potential and highest goals . I combine different therapeutic approaches based on your presenting concerns, goals and motivation such as CBT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy, and Strength Based approaches.
Together, I believe we can identify and overcome the obstacles that may be preventing you from living the life you desire. I know how important it is to develop a strong trusting relationship so that you feel confident to express yourself in a safe and supportive environment. I am glad that you decided to take this first step!!!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
